Experience the heritage of mankind
For 1,200 years, the Carolingian westwork has formed the visible core of the Corvey World Heritage Site. In addition to the cloister and the Imperial Hall, the Baroque monastery complex houses magnificent examples of the furnishings of secular princes and the Princely Library with more than 70,000 volumes, where Hoffmann von Fallersleben, the poet of the German national anthem, once served as librarian.
Corvey has always been a center of knowledge, education, and culture, and the museum still presents high-quality cultural events, permanent historical exhibitions, and guided tours throughout the year. In the monastery refectory garden, not only beautiful roses and almost forgotten vegetables thrive.
